Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said that Ukrainians had fought with “courage and resilience” against Russia, who had “illegally and unjustifiably invaded Ukraine.” His comments came after a heated discussion between U.S. President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in Washington on Feb. 28.
“Their fight for democracy, freedom, and sovereignty is a fight that matters to us all,” Trudeau said in a statement. “Canada will continue to stand with Ukraine and Ukrainians in achieving a just and lasting peace.”
